Yan Zhenshen can cook, but her husband always dislikes the food she makes.

So he simply made some pancakes, steamed some eggs, and cooked some porridge in a clay pot.

On the way back, she heard her husband talking about the wolf cub a lot, and she knew that this guy knew how to protect his master, so she threw a pancake to him as a reward.

The wolf cub was frightened and scared today and had been caught in the rain, so he gobbled up the white flour pancake ravenously.

Although Yan Zhenshen would feed them meat from time to time, more often he would feed them steamed buns made of black flour. White flour was precious to farmers, so it was impossible to feed it to dogs.

Chu Xiao was also very hungry. After eating a few pieces of cakes, his stomach growled even louder. Fortunately, Yan Zhenshen acted quickly and brought in the food quickly.

Seeing that his hair was not yet completely dry, Yan Zhenshen said, "I'll go boil some water. After dinner, you can take a bath to get rid of the cold."

I was about to say don’t get sick, but I was afraid that what I said would come true, so I kept my mouth shut.

"Okay." Chu Xiao didn't even raise his head while chewing on the pancake. When you are hungry, what could be more important than eating?

"Drink some porridge, don't choke." Yan Zhenshen put the half-cooled porridge next to her husband and said, "We just happened to shoot a few pheasants today. We'll kill them and simmer them in the pot. We'll have chicken soup tomorrow morning."

"Use the pot in the east room. The kang is already very hot now. If it gets any hotter, I won't be able to sleep." Chu Xiao just came back and lay in bed, still feeling cold. The hot quilt behind him couldn't cover him.

It is already summer now, and even if it rains it will only bring a bit of coolness. Some men with strong firepower will only burn some fire during the day and not heat the kang at night to avoid getting a sore throat due to the heat at night.

Yan Zhenshen was not in a hurry to eat. He first added firewood to the stove in the east room and boiled a pot of water. He then took out the bathtub to wash. After Chu Xiao had eaten, the water in the pot also boiled.

Yan Zhenshen then began to add water. After eating and drinking, Chu Xiao took a hot bath. He felt comfortable, and it seemed that all the pores in his limbs were opened.

While her husband was taking a bath, Yan Zhenshen picked up the pancake and started to eat. Seeing that half a bowl of egg custard was left, he said, "Why don't you eat more?"

Chu Xiao leaned against the bathtub without opening his eyes: "I'm full, Brother Shen, you eat."

Yan Zhenshen knew that this was something her husband had specially left for him, so he didn't say anything else and finished the egg custard in a few bites.

After washing the dishes, Yan Zhenshen came over to help her husband wash his hair.

Yan Zhenshen deliberately lightened the strength of his hands, and Chu Xiao sighed comfortably.

Compared to the tension and panic just now, this now feels like a peaceful and tranquil time.

Chu Xiao just didn't expect that his brother Shen would be so gentlemanly when giving him a bath, and he didn't take any advantage of him at all, which made him a little uncomfortable.

I even began to worry that I would no longer have meat to eat from today on.

Looking at his brother Shen's serious expression, Chu Xiao felt that this possibility was still very high.

I suddenly felt that this guy's health was a problem. He had to have a baby. How many benefits would he lose.

Chu Xiao sighed, sat cross-legged, and concentrated his mind into a meditative state.

Yan Zhenshen cleaned the bathtub and came in, took a thick coat and put it on him.

Then he went to the woodshed and caught the fattest pheasant.

After thinking for a while, he took out another one and killed it to feed the hounds.

It was late at night, but the rain had not stopped. Under the eaves, Taxue and Dahei were already lying on the sacks and sleeping with their eyes closed. Only the wolf cub was still chewing a chicken bone, and the crunching sound was very obvious in the night.

Yan Zhenshen added some firewood into the stove, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. There was still a lot of water in the pot so it wouldn't dry up, so he closed the lid and left it alone.

He was also a little tired at this time, so he went into the house, lay down next to his husband and took a short rest.

The next day, blue smoke rose and the pheasants in the woodshed kept clucking. I forgot to feed them last night.

Yan Zhenshen went out in the rain to cut some grass for the chickens early in the morning and threw it into the woodshed. Only then did these guys quiet down.

The wolf cub ate well last night, and since Chu Xiao didn't come out, he kept circling around Yan Zhenshen. I don't know if he forgot about having his testicles cut off, or if he put it aside for the time being and focused on begging for food.

Chu Xiao opened his eyes, stretched, and his energy and spirit were mostly restored. He was no longer as fragile as he was last night.

As he woke up, the first thing to react was still his stomach. It moved and made a growling sound. It moved and made a growling sound.

Chu Xiao touched his belly and it seemed that not only he was hungry, but the little guy was also very hungry.

The chicken soup was stewed till soft and Chu Xiao ate several bowls in a row.

Seeing that he was enjoying the meal, Yan Zhenshen felt relieved: "Wait until the rain stops and the food gets exposed to the sun for two days, then I'll take you home."

Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him: "How many days have you only been here?"

Yan Zhenshen knew that his husband didn't understand what he meant, so he explained: "The mountains are different from the villages. You should take good care of yourself now that you are pregnant. Mother is more experienced than me and can take better care of you."

"If I leave, who will pick the wild vegetables on the mountain and take care of the medicinal herbs in the field?" Chu Xiao frowned, his face full of reluctance: "And what if I miss you?"

Yan Zhenshen smiled, knowing that her husband's last sentence was the key point: "I won't stay in the mountains for long after you come down. Before I got married, I went there once every three to five days. I will go there more often in the future."

"This time, I'll go to Doctor Hu to check your pulse and confirm the baby's due date. You're already showing signs of pregnancy, so it should be four or five months before the due date. I'll take advantage of these months to hunt more game, and when the baby is due, I'll go back to be with you."

Yan Zhenshen thought for a moment and said, "Then ask Doctor Hu what foods you should avoid during pregnancy. I don't know if you can still eat the foods you like."

I didn’t think my husband was picky about food before, but recently he has started to have a preference for certain foods from time to time.

This should be a reaction to pregnancy, but he ignored it again.

"There are a lot of flowers blooming in the mountains now, so we should be able to find some honey. Luo Ge'er loved drinking that when she was pregnant. I'll prepare some for you too."

Yan Zhenshen laughed as he spoke: "You don't like mutton. I haven't seen any wild goats in the mountains these days. But the wild boars in Wild Boar Ridge have all run deep into the mountains. I'll take the hounds there to look for them later and catch a few more. I'll raise some at home, so you don't have to worry about having no mutton to eat."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao curled his lips. No matter what they said, he was not allowed to come along. He continued to drink the chicken soup angrily and ignored his brother Shen.

"It'll only be a few months. When you're done with the confinement, let your mother take care of the baby, and you'll stay with me." Seeing that her husband was still unhappy, Yan Zhenshen could only promise him: "I will not go up the mountain for more than five days in the future, and I will stay at the foot of the mountain for two days before coming up, okay?"

Chu Xiao looked up at him and rolled her eyes: "You'd better shut up, or I will regret giving birth to a baby for you."

Yan Zhenshen: “…” The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Normally, you can’t mess with your husband, and you dare not mess with him now.

Chu Xiao snorted: "Hurry up and eat, I'm so annoyed."

Seeing this, Yan Zhenshen quickly served him another bowl of chicken soup: "Eat, eat."

Then he touched Chu Xiao's belly again: "Baby, eat too."

Chu Xiao slapped Yan Zhenshen's hand away, "Is he your baby?"

Yan Zhenshen understood immediately: "You are the big baby, and he is the small baby."

In fact, Chu Xiao felt a little regretful after he finished speaking, and his ears turned red. He was definitely not such a spoiled and pretentious person. It must be because she was pregnant. After all, who wants to be a baby? It's so corny!
